Bear Down Baffa

The Bears benched Jay Cutler in favor of a guy who’s played 16 NFL games and thrown 9 passes this season after not seeing the field since he was a rookie in 2010.  He also happens to be named after the town where Cutler was born:  Santa Claus, IN.  And Jimmy “Santa” Claus(en) had the lead midway through the fourth quarter.  But our D failed again, and then Detroit (sucks again!) gave him a concussion on our final drive via cheap shot.  So after dropping our fourth straight, we’re now forced to go back to Cutler for the season finale.  That’s like getting your new girlfriend pregnant but still taking your ex to the holiday party.  Man, you can’t make this shit up!

Suh looked like he wanted more than a sack on this one,
and Claus(en) looked like he was ready to take his licks

Apparently, the Bears are still playing this season.  And apparently, not much has changed on the performance front.  Hosting a limp 5-8 conference opponent at home is what an impotent 5-8 team like the Bears looks for on its schedule.  But Drew Brees was the only QB that had a “what-we-expected-out-of-Cutler-when-we-guarenteed-him-$54M” kind of night.  And it was evident Brees was sporting the manlier appendage when the score hit 24-0 at halftime – when the game unofficially ended.  And when I headed out to play pool.

We started at the Tilted Kilt on Wabash – $1 pool!

Sometimes there is so much to say, you cringe at the thought of trying to fit it all in.  Other times, you can sum up your thoughts in one word:
